Stealth - any thoughts?
Don't see a thread about it here, so here it is.
Anybody got any thoughts on this new "Top Gunish" film? Will it be good enough as a cheap popcorn flick? It looks to be fairly exciting with lots of eye candy.

I thought the trailer looked pretty good. I hadn't heard anything about the movie previously, so I had no expectations. Now I do. It looks like a solid summer "popcorn" movie.
Trailers can be deceptively good sometimes, but this movie does look like it should be good.

It looks decent, but will probably have too much CGI. This movie just has a second rate quality and feel to it. Even the movies that Rob Cohen has made that I liked (xXx, Daylight, Dragonheart), I thought they were just above average movies.

Probably a fun, frothy and light riff on STAR TREK's "The Ultimate Computer", with (as mentioned before) WAY too much unconvincing CGI. Looks good for a bargain matinee.

I'm all for summer popcorn flix where you shut off your brain at the door, but even this looks horrible.
I might have to see it on DVD just because of Jessica Biel, though.

Every Rob Cohen movie I've seen was disapointing if not completely awful. Yet, I still find them watchable, but not good.
I dont' expect this to be any better. Though I imagine stuff with get blowed up real good. That's a plus.

This is the worst film I've seen this year so far. I honestly thought ALONE IN THE DARK could not be topped!

best buy is giving away free preview DVDs of stealth that also contains interviews and other filler, look for the display. Still does not look that good (but worth going in to get one anyway just to have the case!)

I thought it looked like a potential rental but, if NeonGlow's summary is accurate, I'll wait 'til it airs on USA.

All this is in the trailer so I don't know if this counts as SPOILER. The basic premise sounds good. Military comes up with a super stealth bomber that flys by itself and can turn invisible(visually). Super steath bomber goes haywire and starts firing missiles into major cities. It is flying somewhere over the U.S. but we can't find it because it is invisible to our radar and we can't see it because it is invisible. It could be anywhere, New York, L.A., Chicago, it could be flying over your town right now. Not a bad idea, just depends on the presentation.

Too bad that's not the premise.
No invisibility.
No missiles into major cities.
No US locales (except for a small bit in Alaska).
But the downloading music thing, mentioned in another post, is sadly true.

I'd see it for free, but that's about as far as I'll go.
But everyone should pick up the soundtrack to hear the new Dredg song. Actually, forget the soundtrack, and pick up the Dredg album "Catch Without Arms".
